Collections - Quick Meal

Japanese Beef bowl (Gyū-don) is a popular one-bowl dish that consists of a bowl of rice topped with thinly sliced beef and onions simmered in sweet soy-flavoured sauce. It is so quick to make, tasty and filling – a perfect mid-week family meal.

A simple braised white radish (daikon) becomes a surprisingly tasty dish when cooked in a thick soy flavoured sauce with pork mince (ground pork). The daikon is cooked until it becomes semi-transparent and tender. The meat sauce has a typical Japanese flavour with dashi, soy sauce, sake, mirin and sugar.

This is not just a simple bowl of udon noodles but curry flavoured noodles with pork, shallots (scallions), aburaage (deep fried tofu) and fish cakes. I made the curry sauce from scratch and flavour is amazing – almost noodle restaurant quality.

This is a white coloured stew made from béchamel sauce. It’s so colourful with the chicken, carrots, potatoes, onions and green peas in it. This stew is also called ‘Cream Stew’ although no cream is added to the sauce and it is not as heavy as it might look.

When sautéed beef slices are dressed with grated daikon and ponzu (citrus soy sauce) dressing, they become a rather light meal instead of a rich and heavy beef dish. Beef with Grated Daikon and Ponzu Dressing is so quick to make.

Breaded, deep fried crispy pork cutlet is one of the top 10 favourite dishes among Japanese people. Quite easy to make and served with a sweet fruity sauce, it is so delicious. Tonkatsu is also the main ingredient in Katsudon.

This is a quick Ramen recipe using store bought soup and noodles, but the toppings are homemade. With a little bit of effort to make good toppings, you can enjoy great ramen almost like the ones you order at restaurants.

This is a quick stir fry dish that originated in China. Beef, green pepper (capsicum) and bamboo shoots are cut into thin strips and cooked in soy flavoured sauce with a touch of oyster sauce.

When bite size pieces of deep fried fish are marinated in slightly sweet vinegar and soy based sauce with plenty of shredded vegetables, it transforms the fish into something totally different.

Hiyashi chūka is made with cold Chinese-style egg noodles, with sweet vinegar sauce and topped with vegetables, egg and ham. It is a great dish to have on a hot summer day.

A very popular Chinese dish, Happosai (Combination Stir Fry) is not modified very much from the original Chinese version. It is made with lots of vegetables, meat and seafood coated with a thick flavoursome sauce.

Katsu-don (カツ丼), is a very filling main dish. A bowl of rice topped with tonkatsu (deep fried crumbed pork cutlet), onion and beaten egg, cooked in dashi with sweet soy sauce.
